Many facts are wrong
Date:February 9, 2013
My 4 year old son was having difficulty trying to put the animals in order from lightest to heaviest.Thats because they dont tell the children the weight of the animals before they test them it its called memory reflex they have to do the puzzle or activity over and over again and gain the illusion they are learning something.when its just the repetition to finish the activity.They gain very little.There are many facts about the animals that are very wrong.one example is when sorting animals from heaviest to lightest they put the anaconda as the heaviest the nile croc 2nd the gorrila 3rd and the giant panda last.the average adult weight for a nile croc is700-1100lbs the heaviest recored is 2400lbs the heaviest anaconda found is 500-600lbs there are many examples of their facts being totally wrong.

great game! so many mini games
Date:February 6, 2013
Pros: Fun for kids
There are countless games in this game. To go to africa (among many other countries) you choose an animal to unlock. You play about 6 games to unlock the animal. Then, when you unlock animals, more animals appear for you to unlock and each animal has a set of about 6 or 7 games to complete. We have only gotten so far in this game because there is so much to do and learn about animals in the world. The lion was fun to unlock because he had one fun game where you eat the zebras. then to unlock the zebra theres a game where the zebra has to stay away from being eaten by the lion. Most of the games are more educational on this game but I thought it was fun they added some games that are just for fun too. My son loved this game so much he brought it to school and lost the cartridge. Will have to buy another one to replace it:(

Above my 4 year old
Date:January 29, 2013
Pros: Grows with child
We tried this game and she didn't understand it much, she feels like this game is for an "older kid". I am not sure this is a pick it up and play kind of game. At this point I can't remember what the age range is. It seems very educational and being that she got two other games at the same time this might just have been the lesser of the fun games to play. We are going to keep trying.

Great game to teach kids about unique animals
Date:December 30, 2012
Pros: Good for on-the-go play, Fun for kids
This game has alot of different animals from all over the world and has a bunch of mini games your child has to do in order to unlock the animal. All of the mini games are fun and make learning about the animals fun. I highly recommend this game.
